A while back I was really into a game called Survival Crisis Z, which was a game by Ska Software (most known for The Dishwasher) that was a randomly generated, isometric view zombie survival game.

The game was both very primitive, but also had some gameplay ideas that were well ahead of time. It was also focused on survival as well. Anyway, it never went anywhere so I was sad to see it fade into obscurity, but it looks like these guys are pretty much making the same thing, but with slightly updated graphics, and more gameplay.

RPS has done a few stories about them. The last story I heard, Google checkout or one of the Paypal like services had frozen their account (with money in it) like Paypal did with Notch. Why are these services so mean to indie developers?

I won’t beat around the bush. The Indie Stone have just suffered a major set-back. The Newcastle flat where Lemmy and Binky live and work was burgled this evening, and so far the clearest things taken are two computers and Lemmy’s credit card.

Project Zomboid was regularly backed up from machine to machine, but rarely – sadly and infuriatingly – externally. We have lost an awful lot of work. Mash and Binky don’t even know this has happened yet.
